Was here sometime in June 2017 with my colleagues. Was disappointed with their lechon because the skin was no longer crispy. The food they serve that night did not meet my expectation but was okay. I loved the ambience. I enjoyed watching the lights outside for some reason it made me happy. Their staff were friendly.
The food is great. When I went there, they served lechon. We are in the airconditioned room kaso medyo crowded. Dug-ol ra kaayu ang placements sa tables and chairs.
Outside is alimoot and blinding ang lights nga dominantly pink. The food is yummy. No complaints about sa variation, taste, and presentation. The food itself redeems the resto where it fails in its over mismatch aesthetics.
went here due to their unlimited chicken wings promo and it was perfectly good. i love the sauce topped on the chicken, especially the parmesan. the spicy chicken was not that spicy but still delish. apart from this, they have lunch and dinner buffet which serves a variety of really good food. one of my favorite was their ham and lechon. it was just awesome. the place has the vintage-themed interior and that’s what makes it attractive. i love the servers as they were polite too.
I had some time to spear and needed some place to work with wifi connection. It wasn’t as consistent but I think it’s due to the weather conditions. It was rainy when I visited Cebu.
They were offering a buffet set for only Php 269. It started at 6pm. So what are the inclusions: unlimited iced tea, pizza, spaghetti, rice and chicken. So kung gutom ka at nag titipid this is nice place to visit.
The taste was just right for the Filipino palate. You can also order their gelato ala cart. Didn’t get to try that cause I was full. 😅
My family celebrated Valentine's here. The service was good despite the place being crowded with lots of people that evening. We loved the wide variety of food that they offer. Plus, the acoustic sessions added magic to the already beautiful experience that we had. Highly recommended 👍👍
A place for all occasions and budget. Great food and budget friendly. With weekend entertainment.
Different ambience you can choose from. Eat all you can buffey, unli chicken wings, ala carte orders and they have karaoke rooms for people who love to sing their hearts out.
One of the fine Filipino & recently mixed buffet here in Cebu which offers a lot of varieties. If you go inside their airconditioned restaurant, experience a Filipino-Chinese buffet feast which offers my favorite humba, lechon, siomai, pancit, Pinoy beef steak, lots of kakanin, & very rich sikwate. On the outer area down to their wine bar, you will enjoy pasta, wings, shrimps, pizza & sometimes stewed pork.😊 Bring your family & friends here and I'm sure you will enjoy it here.. hehe!😉
Affordable Filipino buffet. Their crispy pata is truly wonderful. A great selection of Filipino dishes. Siomai and liempo is really good. Give it a try

Who doesn't love chicken? Satisfy your cravings for 199 pesos. Unli chicken wings with 4 different favors plus spaghetti. The place is great too. Perfect for family gatherings or eat out with friends.
Ambiance: 101% 💕
Food: 99%
Parking Are: 50%
Perfect for family, dates, and friends especially that the prices aren't that expensive. I rated 50% on the parking area cause actually the place can't accommodate much but overall the restaurant is 100% lit!!
Chicken is life! Freshly cooked chicken wings + shrimp + pizza + pasta for an affordable price of P269. Their white sauce for the chicken is really tasty. It's perfect for the wings. Cravings satisfied!
It's like a fiesta over here!
Food: Almost everything tasted like the elite version of your famous Filipino dishes except for the clam soup and the paella -- they weren't bad, just lacking some flavor and texture. Not a fan of the oysters. Love their desserts! I love their sikwati (chocolate)! I almost dipped every dessert in their sikwati HAHA.
Price: I guess worth the money.
Place: Reminds me of the interiors of Manila hotel (Elite filipino themed) but smaller..
Service: Just okay.

Behind every pricey light is a nice girl frustrated with how it ruined her food photography.😒 How could you Pino? Hindi kana natuto? Gusto mo wag na ako bumalik dito? 😬 Chos!! Hahahaha This place is very romantic. Lights palang! Hindi tinalo nang prices sa food and drinks hahaha. With their unlimited Summer offers, more people got interested (esp. those w big appetites) haha! I love more nights in here. We initially planned to have wine to please the night, but was tempted on their pasta and chicken so I had my own Chicken Ala Carte and the rest had their Pizza and Pasta.💕
On a negative note, I hate how they played Basketball scenes on the big screen. You know we wanted to sit on the wide couch for a comfy setting, but decided to tranfer to the upper floor to avoid people watching the big screen and disturb them with our loud laughs and everything. And halerr, not all people gathered were boys, unless I was dating w my boyfriend - for sure that'd frustrate me alot more having him focused to another attention (Well, that big screen would really catch everyone's attention.)
Good thing I had a fun night with all the things that me and my friends talked about. It was a super-busooog dinner that I din't finish 2 wings of Chicken and din't want to take the remaining 6 out either. Hihi

Buffet would be, lunch is P299/hamonada and dinner is P399/lechon. If you don't want to eat a lot, they also have alacarte outside, and also unli chicken wings for 199 only, they also have pastries, wines and others. Buffet area will be close until 10-11 but the outside will be close until 2am so you still have time to chill with your friends.
Last weekend, I attended a blogging event in this place and we were treated for a hearty Pinoy buffet on a Saturday lunch. I first visited this place sometime 2014 then, now back being back here. I can't help but awestruck by it massive development.
The buffet offer a decent variety of food option mostly are of Asian fusion but mostly Filipino cuisine, I tried everything on the banquet to sort the best I could find. Luckily, I found a couple of them that pleases my palate.
A must-try in the buffet is their version of Humba, it won us all. Also, the fish tempura and the spring roll were some of my few favorite. Conversely, I have a list of almost I like the attempt of serving me a decent lamb steak, I was almost hook and the sea food soup might as well.
As for the dessert, I have certain favorite the cheese cake and the apple cupcake . However, the panna cotta is a letdown. Since, I my first visit their homey feel inside won me. Their facade may have changed but the warm feel and beauty is still winning me, the old charm!
Now here's a place where you can have a delightful and satisfying lunch or dinner. The buffet focuses on Filipino food and although the taste and quality is good, I just wish there were more options than what they currently serve. The ambiance is also nice, I like how they play instrumental Philippine folk music in the background. The restrooms look classy and elegant. The service is also good and I appreciate the interior design of the place.
Oysters! These babies are the best reason to try Pino. If I rate them from several years ago, I would have given them a 4.5 because of the great ambiance and various food options in their buffet spread. But lately, I find Pino as just one of the many buffet restaurants in the city that offers the same as to that of other buffet restos in the same caliber.
The location is perfect for people who are working/living around Lahug (IT Park and Cebu Business Park). It is accessible to business and office exec around the said area. Chilling at night is best done at Pino. Their lightings and decors at night stands out above the rest.
I've been here several times already. From when I was still studying up until now that I'm already working. Though the only difference was way back my student days my parents would pay for the bill. And now my colleague-slash-friend just brings me here to eat for free since he is a good friend of the restaurant's owner.
I've tried both their lunch & dinner buffet. The dessert section is still my favorite, though I'm not a big fan of Filipino delicacies (biko, maja blanca, palitaw, etc) but the way they present some of the desserts make 'em look so enticing & there are times that they'd twist up the ordinary--like their yema! And I also noticed that they haven't really changed their menu from when I first ate here. The fresh oysters, lechon manok, adobo, dinuguan, caldereta.. I still remember all these from when I first ate here with my family. But nevertheless, the food is still good but not if you keep coming back to the same thing over and over. I really like their ham though (on the dinner buffet). It's so juicy & sweet.
And it also saddens me that even though they're expanding (Pino Plaza) they ruined what used to be a very lovely garden outside the restaurant.
And price-wise? I'd say they're a little too expensive. I mean for P450 you can already dine at a different buffet that offers International cuisine which also serves a few Filipino dishes. They really need to lower down their price or at least just improve the menu.
I would give them a 3 or a 3.5 but since they gave me a P100/head discount when I asked them to cater for my son's 1st birthday & brought the elegance of their restaurant to our home, I'll give them a 4. I've included pictures here of when they catered for my son's birthday.
I would have rated this a 4.5 - 5, a couple of years ago but lately the food choices during their lunch buffet have been limited. With the onset of a lot of all-you-can buffets in Cebu, They need to reinvent themselves to stay in the game. Their dessert station is still yummy with their Pinoy delicacies especially the hot choco.
When the first time i eat here I enjoyed the food and service then the next visit I was surprise because the food is still same two months ago.
